Heart, Cheap Trick and Joan Jett On Tour 2016

The most talked about summer of 2016 concert is Heart, Cheap Trick and Joan Jett. Three Rock n Roll Hall of Fame rockers cranking out more hits than an iPod on steroids. Anne Wilson talks about the tour and the bands new album. Ann Wilson is excited about Heart headlining this summer's Three for All tour, whose tickets go on sale Friday. Ann Wilson on this summer's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-themed tour "Starting July 14th across Canada and across America. And it's going to feature Cheap Trick, Joan Jett and Heart. Cheap Trick is being inducted this year, Joan Jett last year, and we were inducted two or three years ago. So, it's sort of a Hall of Fame -- that's why it's called Three for All. And it's going to be cool. Lots of rock and roll, you know." Ann Wilson says Heart is familiar with their tour co-stars."Yeah, we worked with them both before, especially a lot with Cheap Trick. And with Joan, too -- but mostly, most often with Cheap Trick. I love them, they're great." Ann Wilson says the induction of Heart and Joan Jett makes a strong statement that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is no longer an all-boys club "That's true, and also it's a question of there being women who are rockin' enough. That's a somewhat new thing in itself. 25 years ago, there just weren't that many women doing rock at all, you know. Now there are quite a few and there are some veteran women rockers. So, yeah, they won't be able to call it a boys club much longer." Ann Wilson on why Heart fans are so loyal "We've kept making records, we've kept playing shows. Sometimes we're up, sometimes we're down, but there we are. We love doing it, I think people can relate to that. We don't try to be something we're not. We'll go to where the people live [chuckle] and they appeciate that." And if that's not enough, Heart has a new album that's just months away from going on sale. Ann Wilson discusses Heart's upcoming album "Yes, we are. We are just finishing up a new record here in L.A. And it's being rough-mixed right now. We have one more song -- it'll be out before the tour starts. Right now, the working title is Iconograph. It's some new songs that have never been heard before; some really super old under-the-radar songs that we have reinvented." The Three for All tour -- with co-stars Joan Jett and Cheap Trick -- begins July 14th at the DTE Music Theater in suburban Detroit.
